Thomas Jefferson High School, one of the city's oldest educational institutions, was dubbed one of the "most ornate school buildings in the state," by Aceable.

The campus at 732 Donaldson Ave. was built in 1932 by Adams & Adams and Phelps & Dewees for more than $1.25 million. Jefferson was designated a Texas historical landmark and entered into the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

"We are pleased that Jefferson High School is being recognized as one of the most beautiful high schools in Texas," San Antonio Independent School District Communications Director Leslie Price told mySA.com. "We are proud of the historical richness of the Jefferson campus, and even prouder of the modern innovation in education it provides our students."

Samuel V. Champion, in Boerne, was also included on the list at No. 19. El Paso High School took the top spot.
